Austin Burlesque Style Tips

Burlesque style in Austin is as glamorous and sexy as the performers who rock it, but if you think it’s a look strictly meant for the stage, think again! Allow yourself to be inspired by these easy tips for incorporating burlesque glamour into your everyday style.

Try the trend
In 2010, designers begin to incorporate classic elements of burlesque style into their collections. Corset tops, lace, sheer fabrics and nude colors were all over the runways. Try pairing a lingerie-inspired top with a jeans and a black blazer for a sexy look with a hint of burlesque style.

Invest in shapewear!
Retro and burlesque styles celebrate the female form and focus on curves. Use shaping undergarments to create a solid foundation for any outfit you put on. Corsets are optional but Spanx and a great bra are musts for creating a smooth silhouette!

Go for retro beauty looks
Even if corsets and lace aren’t your style, you can incorporate burlesque into your look using makeup. Take inspiration from retro-beauties and rock red lips with a winged liquid liner. The look is sultry without being too over the top. If you really want to shine, incorporate some glitter into your makeup look!

Take it undercover
If nothing else, wear something sexy like underneath your clothes, like a sexy bra and panty set from Kuhmillion. You’ll feel like a calendar girl under your clothes and no one will know but you!
